I had been talking to Sky and noting that Ariel had run off to find Asuka when I felt someone lurking nearby.
To subtley follow this person, I moved towards the dense trees.
Tamotsu noted my movemnet and the odd feeling that someone was out there.
A hand shot out with lightning-fast speed and grabbed my arm, but in one swift movement, I flung my attacker in the air and pulled out Anuklusmos while the person twisted out of my grip and landed with gun drawn.
It was a girl with long golden hair in a braid, pale skin, and a bandana tied over her mouth adn nose (cowboy style). She was a very unique-looking person to normal people but I also noticed a white circlet on her head.
So, she was one of Them.
"You're quick, Kasumi," the girl laughed in an impressed way.
"How do you know my name?" I asked cautiously.
Indicating wiht her gun, she answered, "By your scars of course! you ARE the legendary Soricid, are you not?"
Glaring, I replied, "Not anymore."
Tamotsu had made his way behind the girl and moved his eyes to the girl's circlet as if to say, "She's with Them."
"You know my name but I don't know yours," I told her simply.
Laughing again, she said, "Of course! How rude of me! I'm Aditi. Now, will your friend standing behind me with the chain please introduce himself?"
Tamotsu didn't look surprised but instead answered, "Tamotsu."
Aditi put her gun down by her side and said, "I believe that we will be great friends since we all are connected through our calling. you can put your weapons away."
"do you think that i'm that naive?! You may be good in YOUR field with monsters like yourself, but to us you're just plain over-confident and naive." I told her as I held my weapon up.
"Very well," she said, almost dropping the over-polite-manner, "I'm here to recruit. you and that panther-friend of yours look very promising. You would all be a valuable addition to the New Agency. Will you join us?"
"I'll never go back there!" Tamotsu and i answered at the same time.
"Too bad," Aditi sighed and held up her gun, "I'm afraid this won't end well...."
"For you," Tamotsu finished her sentence with a grin.
Sora and Sky came jogging over, "What's going on?!"
